"The" EHCI controller? I don't know what EHCI controller you're
talking about, but my controllers don't have any trouble detecting
device removal during suspend.

Isn't this solution too extreme? What if the device was a flash
storage drive and it wasn't unplugged during suspend? This patch would
force it to be removed, messing up any mounted filesystems, when there
was no need.
